Makes 4 large pretzels.

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbs melted butter, salted

Please note: Will also need water and baking soda mixture to boil pretzels prior to baking and an egg wash + kosher salt for that perfect pretzel crust.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Whisk together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to bloom for 10 minutes. Mixture should be foamy.
• In a stand mixture, add your flour, salt, melted butter, and wet mixture. Kneed for 10 minutes.
• Kneed a few minutes by hand before adding dough ball to greased bowl.
• Cover dough with towel and allow to rest for one hour.
• Once rested, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface before dividing into four pieces.
• Roll out into a noodle shape before shaping into pretzel. Grab the ends, cross x 2, and flip towards you.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Boil water with baking soda.
• Place each pretzel into boiling water — one at a time — for about 30 seconds.
• Place boiled pretzels on a parchment lined baking tray.
• Brush each pretzel with an egg wash and sprinkle generously with kosher salt.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes until brown and crispy.
• Enjoy with your favorite cheese sauce or mustard.

NOTES

Original recipe was found on TikTok via user Revi (@reviskitchenn).

You can also just roll out as usual, and then instead of twisting into pretzel shape, divide roped dough into small pretzel bites before continuing the process. These would make amazing pretzel bites!
